Where the data comes from

• City website: https://www.rva.gov
• Agendas and meeting calendar: https://richmondva.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx
• Meeting video: Official YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@RichmondVirginia (mayoral/city content, no council or committee meeting videos found 2026-09-22 onward); council meeting video, if any, is via Legistar/Granicus (not confirmed).
• Officials, agendas and video lists were collected from these official sources on 2026-10-22.
• City Council action summaries (Legistar View.ashx documents, status Draft) for September 14, September 28, October 5 (special meeting) and October 13, 2026 were read in full on 2026-10-24 and the Issue, People and Meeting pages rebuilt from them.

Data quality notes

• The action summaries record outcomes, sponsors (patrons) and referral dates only. They do not give motions, individual votes, discussion or public comment, so those are not on the pages. Fuller minutes, if posted, would add them.

• Council members are identified by surname and title only (first names are not in the summaries).

• Committee meetings (Planning Commission, standing committees) and the October 13 Spanish edition were not separately processed; the standing committee pages remain agenda-only.

• Residential special use permits are summarized without street numbers.

• Council member names/roles not verified on a fetched official page (rva.gov council page body did not yield a roster; Legistar People list has no roles), so omitted; mayor name taken from official city YouTube channel title.

• No council/committee meeting videos found on official YouTube channel; Legistar video links not checked.

• Legistar calendar page showed meetings only through 10/28; November meetings not listed.

• Many meetings (10/8, 10/9, 10/15, 10/20 Planning Commission, 10/21) showed no agenda posted so were excluded.

• Agenda_url points to Legistar meeting detail pages. rva.gov/city-council returned 404.
